The Memristor

The Memristor , a Microscopic component that can "remember" electrical states even when turned off .It's expected to be far cheaper and faster than flash storage .A theoretical concept since 1971,it has now been built in labs and is already starting to revolutionize everything we know about computing ,possibly making flash memory ,RAM and every hard drives obsolete within a decade.

The Memristor is just one of the incredible technological advances sending shock waves through the world of computing  . In the following sections, we outline the basics of 15 upcoming technologies ,with predictions on what may come of them .Some are breathing down our necks ,some advances are still just out of reach .And all have to be reckoned with.
